| Abstract | In this study, a model is developed for an Intelligent
Computer- Aided Instruction package for teaching a pre- high school
trigonometry course. The package is designed and implemented
using micro- Prolog language (some routines are in Pascal) on IBM
PC with accompanying graphics on the color monitor display
terminal.
The whole system is driven by a menu (with a 'help'
facility) from which the user chooses the required module. Each
module comprises one major activity. The response-sensitivity of
this package is an improvement over previously described systems
and the package can adapt itself according to a student's performance by providing the appropriate teaching strategy (hints,
examples, graphics) . Thus, students do not all follow the same
path in completing any lesson of the course and a more competent
student would finish the course in fewer steps. The Natural
language processing capability is developed to make the proposed
CAI package function more effectively. Students can set up
problems for the package to analyse and solve immediately . A
time controller is applied to force students spend their computer
time more efficiently and to reduce machine idling. A further
feature, the scoring procedure, enables the package to evaluate
the student's performance. |
